The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

It was the first time Emperor Ming saw his nephew so angry. He quickly comforted him and said, "Oh! Bo Yue, this is not a big deal. Why are you so angry?"

Li Ling stood up, saluted Emperor Ming respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, please promise me not to let the Queen do anything wrong."

If Empress Cao forcibly issued an order, no matter how unwilling Li Ling was, he would not be able to resist the order and disobey it. Therefore, Li Ling made up his mind today to get Emperor Ming's nod.

Emperor Ming looked at Li Ling and said helplessly: "You kid, you are really stubborn. I really don't know what is so good about Ms. Shen that she deserves to be treated so heart and soul by you. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

If you can't bear to part with Mrs. Shen, just let her stay with you, but Qingluan is a princess, so you can't be on an equal footing with her, so just reduce her to a concubine."

When Li Ling heard this, he flatly refused and said: "This matter is absolutely impossible. Not to mention that I will never treat my wife Shen like this. Even if I haven't married a wife yet, I will never treat her as my master. I only regard Qingluan as my wife."

Look at my sister, how can I marry her? Isn’t this ridiculous?"

Emperor Ming sighed slightly and said: "But Qingluan is interested in you. She has not yet come out at this age because she is thinking about you. This child lost his mother when he was young. It is very pitiful.

If you take care of her from now on, I will feel relieved."

What's the point?

For the sake of his daughter, he ignored his wife and children. Li Ling was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and said coldly: "If your Majesty is so hard-pressed, I will have no choice but to step down from my official position and return home with my wife and children."

I went to farm in my hometown."

If Li Ling is disbanded and returns to his fields, who will help him fight?

When Emperor Ming heard this, he hurriedly replied: "You kid, how could you say such angry words? Okay, okay, if you don't want to, forget it."

When Li Ling heard this, he was finally relieved. He quickly bowed to Emperor Ming and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for this."

Emperor Ming glanced at Li Ling and snorted coldly: "You are really stubborn. You don't enjoy the blessings of the people of Qi, but you have to hang on a tree. How many people are eager to worship the Lord, but you don't know what is good and what is good? Hmph! I

Is your daughter still worried about not being able to get married?"

Seeing that Emperor Ming finally relented, Li Ling couldn't help but soften his expression, and echoed Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty's princess will definitely find a lover."

Emperor Ming rolled his eyes at his nephew and snorted coldly: "There is no need for you to tell me. If you love the Shen family so much, why are you still spending time here with me? Just go home."

Li Ling received the order and resigned to Emperor Ming with a smile. He strode out of the palace with a sudden stride and rode straight back to his home.

Empress Cao returned to Jiaofang Palace and drafted the decree. She stared at the decree and couldn't help but feel annoyed when she thought of Shen and Li Ling.

Yu Tuan'er glanced at Empress Cao's face, offered her a cup of enthusiasm, and cautiously advised her, "Don't be upset, Your Majesty. It doesn't matter how rebellious and unruly Li Ling is. If you continue to follow your instructions, he will fall in love with Shen."

I don’t think we have to part ways with her, but after the Ninth Princess descends to the Zhenguo Duke’s mansion, all the plans of the Empress will naturally come to fruition smoothly.”

At this point, Empress Cao has made many preparations. If Qingluan can convince the old lady and Li Ling, it is best. If not, let her steal Li Ling's patrol commander card, and they can successfully control the capital.

Therefore, Empress Cao must place Qingluan as a chess piece beside Li Ling.

Empress Cao smiled faintly when she heard this and murmured: "I originally planned to win over Li Ling after Mrs. Shen, but who knew that Mrs. Shen couldn't fall in love with Daoer, so I can't blame you."

Yu Tuan'er replied: "This Shen family was originally from a small family. She was overly pampered by the Li family's eldest son, which made her feel confident. She thought that with her husband's protection, she would always be safe, but

Little does anyone know that in this whirlpool of power, there is no room for her innocence. The empress gave her the right to say that she will not leave. From now on, there will be a time when she will call the sky and the earth and the earth will not work. "

Empress Cao picked up the tea cup and took a sip gracefully. She looked slightly proud and said with a sneer at the corner of her mouth: "As the saying goes, those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Since Mrs. Shen doesn't know how to praise her, treat her

After being demoted to the side chamber, I naturally have many ways to make her regret it."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said to Yu Tuan'er: "When the decree is announced tomorrow, let them bring out the news to brother. These matters have to be arranged quietly. If Li Ling refuses to cooperate, then we will have to wait until Qingluan gets married.

After that, it will be a different matter."

Yu Tuan'er nodded secretly and said in a low voice: "Since the return of King Jin, uncle Guo has made preparations, so don't worry, Madam."

Empress Cao lowered her eyes and said bitterly: "If Li Ling hadn't interfered and ruined the palace's plans last time, then King Jin would have been buried long ago, so there would be no need to bother with this."

The master and the servant were plotting here. The maid came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."

Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Emperor Ming would come to Queen Cao's place to have his wedding ceremony in accordance with palace regulations. He almost never set foot in Jiaofang Hall on weekdays.

Empress Cao suddenly heard that Emperor Ming was coming. She was stunned for a long time and did not recover. Yu Tuan'er urged her: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here, hurry up and get ready to pick him up."

After hearing this, Empress Cao hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, yes." Then she happily welcomed her out of the palace with her maid.

After the couple exchanged pleasantries, Emperor Ming entered the Jiaofang Palace and asked Empress Cao directly: "Just now, Uncle Cai made an appointment to come over to meet the Holy Spirit and mentioned to me that the empress was threatening his wife. Is this true?"

Just now outside the Qinzheng Hall, Li Ling was insisting on this matter with her face to face, but Empress Cao did not expect that such a dignified first-class general would tell Emperor Ming about this matter.

Of course Queen Cao would not admit it. She pretended to be surprised and said: "Where do you start talking about what General Li told your Majesty? Well, what did I do to threaten his wife? Your Majesty, please tell me. This is an injustice to my concubine."

.”

Emperor Ming snorted coldly and said: "If the queen didn't do the best thing like this, you are the queen. If you really did such a disgraceful thing just to win over your subordinates, I would be really disappointed at that moment."

When Empress Cao heard this, she immediately knelt down at the feet of Emperor Ming and cried out, "Your Majesty, I have been in charge of the harem for you for more than ten years and have always abided by my duties. This matter must have been framed by General Li's wife, Mrs. Shen, behind my back."

Emperor Ming wondered: "You have nothing to do with Mr. Shen, why would Mr. Shen frame you?"

Empress Cao replied: "After I learned about Qingluan's thoughts, I went to find Shen and mentioned the matter to her, in and out of words. I just wanted to save her face and wanted her to go down to the court to beg for help.

But she had a tough attitude and refused to give in because of the favor of the eldest son of the Li family. I thought that it was because of this that she held a grudge, so she framed me in front of the eldest son of the Li family."

There were many women in Emperor Ming's harem, and there had always been a lot of disputes. Emperor Ming had long been accustomed to such quarrels. He came here today just to remind Empress Cao not to unscrupulously make friends with foreign ministers. As for who hates whom, and who

Emperor Ming didn't bother to care or care about whom he loved.

When Emperor Ming heard this, he waved to Empress Cao and said, "Get up."

Empress Cao stood up, but she was worried that Emperor Ming would change his mind about letting Qingluan descend to Li Ling. She glanced at Emperor Ming's face and said tentatively: "I have made a decree to ask Li Ling to divorce his wife and marry the Ninth Princess. We will let him go tomorrow."

Is it okay if someone goes to announce the decree?"

Emperor Ming nodded and said: "Since it has been planned, it should not be delayed. Let's issue the decree tomorrow."
